Well, it's on the front page this morning. I want to go on record as saying that the News Journal article was dead on. Congratulations to the reporter Linda Martz for understanding the situation so thoroughly.
It is interesting that Ms. Baker brought up the Rennaisance because Dan Seckel was the architect and pesented the project before the Preservation Commission over two years ago, including tearing down the adjacent building. I'm not clear if Ms. Baker thinks we should have saved it or what her concern is?
This was not supposed to be the way we are going to fix this situation anyway. OHPO, HUD, and ODOD are not raising issues of how the city operated their HUD program in the past, and for Cindy Baker and the mayor to bring the issue of past operating procedure out in a public forum and now on the front page of the News Journal is a pretty ugly way to comply with a simple directive from OHPO to move forward properly and save the funding.
